Ayush: Bazball is not a modern approach. With a flat pitch it was easier for the English batters to score runs at brisk pace. On tricky conditions their batting only revolves around Root

Their Lower order Always pops up when its Matter most, their 6-11 far more better than many other SENA Countries.

Rf : on Root 🙏

Root's Batting average not that Good, in second innings, many top players have A1 batting Averages but they not able to bats as good as 1st innings 'cause wear & tear of Pitch

Prasad: India should aim to dismiss England for under 150, with the key being to remove Root as soon as possible.

1.06pm: Where's your hard-earned? India probably edging it after detonating four top-order wickets, but England's kingpin, Joe Root, remains at the crease. In fact, he lingers as the players head off, tapping his bat the Nursery End and visualising what is to come. A monumental tussle, that's what

Indian players understandably chuffed, high-fiving each other before leaving the field. They've made the new ball count once more as they've done all through the series, picking up as many as four wickets in the session. It all started with Bumrah and Siraj who set the tone in the first few overs. They hit good areas, tested the batters and it was Siraj who got the rewards in a fired-up seven-over burst. The follow-up was good as well, with Nitish Reddy removing Crawley who fell on the drive again. India had England at 50/3 at that point. They faced a counter-punch from Harry Brook who took his chances in a 19-ball 23, , but was bowled behind his legs off Akash Deep while going for a very audacious premeditated sweep.

OxTiger: "Considering the uneven bounce, and India's unreliable lower order - reckon Archer and Co may fancy a chance defending 250. India may need to bat out of their skins if the target is 300 "

There were more signs of inconsistent bounce as well. But this ball is 25 overs old now and the visitors may have to work a little more harder for their wickets. Let's see how England respond. Back in 35...

Fantastic stuff this morning from both sides, with a fired-up Mohammed Siraj landing the initial blows, before NK Reddy and Akash Deep claimed further scalps - the latter's dismissal of Harry Brook, the over after he had been ramped and spanked for three momentum-stealing boundaries, particularly significant. Jasprit Bumrah can't be kept quiet for long, can he?

No way we can dismiss them around 150, I wonder what is our plan B? If we not win somehow we need the reasons to draw the test,

One of test, at oval or so, they ask us 432 to win, Sunny scored Lum sum innings, we were so close to win that, we ended at 429/8 test Draw 'cause their Keeper walk to the Square Leg Fence to Field the ball to kill time, they are & They were Cunning #1,

On WTC super over, they should share the trophy with Humble NZ but once again, soft corner by ICC saves them ( at that time, "no rules of More four in super overs --win" now Under new rule if super over tie you need 2 /3/4 super over till you see positive results
